    Bill Clinton's head has been photoshopped onto someone else's body?

    Maybe I spent too much time out in the heat today, lol.

    prize (5.00 / 1) (#8)

    Bill Clinton and Mick Jagger, wonder who could win the prize for having the most ladies? Probably Mick.

    On the other hand, if Bill Clinton did actually wrestle toe sucking Dick Morris to the White House kichen floor and work him over, that wins him the top prize regardles of losses in any other respect.

    Sunday Morning Breakfast (5.00 / 2) (#9)
    by Jeralyn on Sun Jun 27, 2010 at 01:37:04 AM EST
    It's 12:30 am and I just decided to eat my breakfast before going to bed. It's almost like a desert.

    Remember the movie, V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman? I loved it, but the part I loved best was when she and V cooked eggs in the morning and there had been a ban on butter for years. Natalie had grown up eating eggs cooked this way, but hadn't had them since she was a child. I modified the recipe, and hear you go:

    Put a piece of bread in the toaster till 3/4 brown. Take it out and using a knife, cut out a square in the center, big enough to hold a raw egg.

    Melt butter in the fry pan, put in the the bread, and 30 seconds later, crack an egg so it falls in the hole in the bread. Add salt and pepper to the egg. Let it cook a minute or two, then flip it. Another minute of cooking, take it out and put it on a plate. Pour Maple Syrup on it (I use the sugar free kind) and voila! You have an easy french toast with a fried egg in the middle. Even the TL kid loves it.

    What do you cook on Sunday mornings?

    Yum... (5.00 / 1) (#10)

    This morning I made a similar dish, but instead of bread I used left over risotto. Risotto pancake in a pan with butter, hole in the middle and drop an egg in..  

    No syrup, but still pretty delicious... The carmelized onions in the risotto were sweet enough..

    Pancakes (5.00 / 1) (#13)

    Joshua is so picky, but he'll eat pancakes and bacon.  We used to be able to get him to eat eggs when he was smaller.  He was about three years old and started saying that he hated eggs as in scrambled eggs.  But his sister still had him eating a fried egg.  She had to lie about what they were called though, she called them num nums.  He got a bit older though and discovered the deceit.

    kind of strange appeal. Both of these men reached the pinnacle of their career fields and have incredible power and prestige in very different domains. They seem so much alike in many ways. Clinton controlled the most powerful political office in the world and got there by intricately playing by the rules better than anyone else. Jagger thumbed his nose at the rules better than anyone else. Both are living off the interest of another era on accounts which, by whatever laws of economics really exist, can't do anything but appreciate. And tomorrow I will clip coupons to go to the grocery store.

    has elected a comedian to be it's Mayor. 5 of it's new city council members are his friends and are also comedians/singers. Here's an excerpt from the article,

    "With his party having won 6 of the City Council's 15 seats, Mr. Gnarr needed a coalition partner, but ruled out any party whose members had not seen all five seasons of "The Wire."

    the Rolling Stone doc Shine A Light the other day, where Hillary's birthday present to Bill a few years ago was a Stones concert and Marty Scorcese the director showed up to film it.  Worth a watch.

    As indicated in the doc, I think Bill and Mick get along well.

    Though I suspect Mick is probably used to being a little freer to down a few with the boys at these futbol matches.  Looks like they were only sipping tea ...

    At least Mick has someone to swap (none / 0) (#12)

    on Mick Jagger's side.  From fall 1964, Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and the T.A.M.I. Show.  

    Screaming teenies.  

    46 yrs ago.  Mick looks little different today.
